Matrix Variable Front Plate Vest w/ Integrated Pistol Holster (Color: Black)

"This vest is awesome! It comes with everything u need and is capable of changing all out to make your own custom load out. Velcro for the win!!! The side pouch can fit a whole can of 2000 bbs. The only con is the pistol holster has a pretty far reach. I would definetly reccomend this vest.

"This vest is awesome!! I got it a few days ago, and it was well worth the money. The vest is adjustable, which is great since I'm tall, and also, it fits rather snugly if you adjust it right. The holster is decent but takes some effort to get to. Overall. 5 out of 5. Great product.

"This vest is very comfortable with good padding so your shoulders wont get tired fast. The vest has a wide range of ajustability so it can fit you. I am 5'7 and this vest fits great. It has a built in hydration pocket so you dont have to buy one. This vest is great quality fits very nice and I suggest you buy this. The only thing that isnt great is the pistol holster on the left side, its kinda hard to reach. But all together this vest is amazing and not a waste of money!

"i got my vest in the mail... finally!!! i couldn't wait because when i saw the review for it i was amazed by it. This product was one that i am very proud to own and i want to give a big thumbs up to evike for making a great review to get me inspired to buy this item. evike keep on making great reviews there very helpful to most of the people who go on your website and i just wanna think you for this one

"I just got it today "YES" And im happy with this vest this is my frist vest and it will be my last it fits great and dosent have weight too it. And if you got an ak the clips they do fit in the pouches. Two mags fix in the pouches so thats 6 mags. The pouche on the right holds two mag also so you can have 8 mags. Plus if you got a p90 buy their p90 upgread (box mag) and then you dont have to get p90 clips. it eazy too get out you pistol out of the holster. All in all i give it a 5 out of 5! THANKS EVIKE.COM

"I've had this for about 5 years and it held up very well. After about 4 years the pistol holster got ripped off somehow, but the vest was still very nice however it got very hot.

Pros:
Lasted a good while
Comfortable
easy to take off


Cons:
Where plates would be is foam and that made it unnecessarily hot and added weight.

"First off I will start by saying that the build quality to this vest is very good. I needed an upgrade from my old amazon cross draw vest, and I was excited about the integrated pistol holster..that is until I actually needed to access the pistol in it. Talk about awkward, you will feel like a chicken trying to reach down with your left hand to unlock and pull it out. Its unreachable with my right hand. The clip that holds it in is only velcro'd , so i lost mine on the field several times, and my 1911 fell out about 6 times that day. Talk about frustrating. I will end up removing the front panel and just using the MOLLE loops for a custom build, and running a separate leg holster for my pistol.

Pros:

-Price
-Mag pouches are solid
-Pistol Mag pouches are nice, but hard to get to as well.
-Can fit a thunder devil in the bungee loop up top
-fold up pocket up top is tight, but spacious
-side bag is spacious, but hard to manipulate if you are wearing gloves (if you lack hand dexterity)
-You can remove the entire front panel and do a custom build using MOLLE

Cons:

-Pistol holster!! GRRRR. The main reason I wanted this and I wont be using it.

"Just got the vest as a new one for getting back into airsoft its lightweight and comfortable with a nice design but the i am 5 foot 9in and 130lb the vest needed to be pretty much maxed out on pulling the straps to adjust size so have straps flopping and where the pistol goes and pouch on sides were so far back I can't really reach them. So if you are around that size best to find a different one

"Yes this will fit us big guys, 4 out of 5 because the Pistol holster is on there permanently. as in if you get a real holster you will still be stuck with this on your vest, which isn't that big of a deal but lets be honest for 80 bucks i should be able to take that off....

"I ordered this vest around X-mas and it has not disappointed me. It has lots of M.O.L.L.E space which is really useful for attaching extra mag pouches and accessories as you like. Also has lots of Velcro for patches and such. The only thing that I dislike about the vest is that the Velcro on the sides of the vest does not extend enough which makes it hard to wear if you as skinny as I am personally (with the velcro extension on front, without it, its fine).

PROS:
Lots of MOLLE
Lots of Velcro
Built-in holster for pistol
Very adjustable
High-quality

CONS:
Not for skinny people
Thats it...

Great vest, I suggest getting it.

"The construction of this vest is excellent and it fits me very well with plenty of room for adjustment (i'm very skinny but 5' 10"). The mag holders are great, a little stiff at first. The pistol mag holders actually hold my USP mags super well which has been hard to find in other vests.

My main issue with this vest is the cross draw holster. I think its pretty much impossible for me to actually draw my sidearm from it. its just at an impractical angle to reach. The sides of the vest can also come up pretty far, almost in your armpits depending on how you have yours setup. This also causes some issues with the cross draw. Its a shame because its a very nice, secure holster too.

It is a very well made vest, just a shame that the sidearm holster doesn't detach separately from the rest of the variable front.

I was able to get a grenade pouch between the mags and utility pouch for my tornado which is a great plus.

Id love to see different front plates sold with other options on them.

"I just recieved this vest today and so far I like it. I will probably give it another review once it's been "field tested". This is what I have seen so far:

Pros:
-Light weight
-Customizable
-Built-in admin pouch with 40MM granade holder
-Comes with pouches
-Price

Cons:
-Does not take plates
-Pistol holster hard to reach
-It's kinda short on me, but I'm 6'1" 185 lbs.

Overall great deal for the price.

"I got this for my grandson for his birthday and it seems to be a few issues for one hes a bit of the hefty side and hes pretty tall (6"3) he wanted this one since it was a plate vest however he looks everywhere and it seems there was no plate slot (might be just ours though) and it doesn't fit him infact it only covers a bit of his chest and he puffed in his chest to see if it fit and it wont so I do recommend this vest if you aren't to tall and hefty other wise look some were else

Pros:
great style vest
Looks realistic
The Velcro is tough
Fits his Mid cap M4 mags

Cons:
Not ment for big people
Cant hold plates (maybe its ours)

Over all 4/5 really only ment for people under 5 foot and under 250 pounds

"I just got this vest today and after looking at it for 2 seconds I could tell that it was of very high quality.

The magazine pouches feel real nice and it is very comfortable. The only problem I have with the vest is

with the cross draw holster. It is a really far reach and it is tough to get your pistol quickly.

If you have short arms and are looking to utilize the cross draw holster, do not get this vest!

"This Best is amayzing. I like to run 9 m4 mags in the vest with one in the gun. I have 6 in the front and 3 in the side pouch( along with defog spray, some tools, and a extra battery.) Since i'm only 5'9 and about 125 pounds, it's a little big. I ended up tieing rope and attaching it with carabiners to make a snug fit.

Pros:
built in hydration pouch
2 pistol mag pouches
6 m4 mag pouches
Molle underneath the front pouches

cons:
hard to reach my pistol (kjw 1911 hi capa )
a little big on me ( I'm a small person)
can't buy extra Velcro front plates ( this would be nice to get a m14 or something like that)

over all it's a great vest. Deffinatly worth the price. Can't wait to skirmish with it.
